The Aquamancer’s Secret (Clean fantasy with mystery, intrigue, grammar jokes, and apprentice/master witty banter)

A grammar-obsessed squirrel. A legendary potion shop. And secrets lurking in every corner.

Taliana is after a secret. Problem is, she’s not the only one.

Three years of meticulous studies have paid off, and Taliana—an eager, detail-obsessed squirrel—has been selected as an apprentice to the most legendary potions master in the capital: Ilyan the Estimable.

Ilyan has a fabled secret, one that elevates his potions from mundane magic to miraculous marvals. Taliana is determined to find out what that secret is—at any cost.

Unfortunately, so is a team of elite, fire-wielding mercenaries.
